Cargo Bikes reviews from Reddit

"If you want long range then I don't think anything can beat the tern Orox with double 800wh batteries."

"The Tern GSD is also frequent and I’m sure the Tern Quick Haul along will become quite popular"

"We love our Tern GSD. Worth every penny."

"We love our Tern GSD. Worth every penny."

"My “flee apocalypse gridlock by bike” dream vehicles would be 2 Tern GSDs."

"Tern GSD FTW. Getting two batteries will improve the total life of both batts."

"Tern gsd or hsd. Big cargo bikes, higher price but better quality."

"I bought a tern gsd that I use with my two kids."

"Definitely Cycleast. We bought a Tern there a couple years ago and they have been great with maintenance as well as general stupid questions."

"Definitely Cycleast. We bought a Tern there a couple years ago and they have been great with maintenance as well as general stupid questions."

"The new radster road fixed all there previous issues, name brand parts, hydraulic brakes, safe shield battery, torque sensors and 100nm of torque. Can get up any hill, has a max speed of 28mph chain gaurd, full fenders, easily swappable battery for extending range best bike decision I ever made was the radster road"

"I love my Radwagon 4. Got it during the prelease and have about 2500 miles on it. I do grocery store/Costco runs, take my MTB to the trails, and run errands on it. Only maintenance I've had to do is a minor front brake caliper adjustment."

"I bought a Rad Wagon 4 as a replacement for my car in February, and I continue to think it’s the best vehicular decision I’ve ever made. You can get better cargo bikes for a ton more money, but I think the RW4 is an amazing value."

"I absolutely love my rad wagon! Best cargo bike for the price. Sure there is better cargo bike, but do you really want to spend 4000-6000 for a while you would probably just use on the weekends."

"I've had a Radwagon 4 since the pre-release and it's been great. Nothing comes close in terms of value for a cargo bike."

"Just passed 3000 KM on my radwagon 4, love it to bits, make sure to invest a little of the cash you save in some good tools and you’ll be absolutely fine."

"Love my Rad Mission. Very Happy with my purchase and will absolutely buy another Rad e-bike."

"I'm a big fan of the RadWagon"

"I bought a RadRunner Plus back in June. I ride on average 500-700km a week, have over 5k km on the odometer, I am 240lbs and carry about 10lbs of cargo when doing my work commute (100km round trip 4-5 days a week). Definitely need to put in effort to get up hills and I usually am always on PAS 5 but I find the bike handles my weight and cargo very well."

"I love my RadWagon4 and so do our two kids. But be aware that the Radius brakes that it ships with are complete trash, be prepared to upgrade them. Still, for the price it's an amazing bike, a true car replacement."

"I have a Yuba Mundo classic and can fit 3 kids on the back."

"It's an amazing bike. Will haul huge heavy loads."

"I have the yuba Supercargo and have it set with a Yepp Nexxt Mini."

"Look at the Yuba spicy curry - extra long tail for two or three kids."

"Yuba mundo or Supercargo are good options."

"Yuba Kombis are cheap and can carry a fair bit."

"You can usually find secondhand Yuba's at good prices."

"Maybe a *Yuba Supercargo CL* ...? Not sure if that can fit two babies AND two kids."

"I know people who have the Yuba and love it."

"Can’t recommend Omnium enough, got the MiniMax v3 some months ago and it’s great. Can haul just about everything with the extender bar."

"I have a omnium cargo V2 (once known as omnium cargo WiFi) - it's easily the best bike I've ever owned for the fun value! It's great at hauling stuff too not surprisingly!"

"It's the best!"

"I'm pretty sure that an Omnium can do ANYTHING."

"Came here to say Omnium. They are so much fun to ride can be set up with belt, chain, or e-assist."

"Omnium Mini Max, Petit Porteur, Bombtrack's Munroe Cargo. There could be some lag time waiting to receive the bike (two are imports), but why not get something cool that really is a cargo?"

"I have been looking into an Omnium cargo bike and was thinking that it might work for touring."

"Have an Urban Arrow which we've used with our two kids."

"Urban Arrow."

"These types of cargo bikes are pretty popular in the Netherlands."

"I think my Urban Arrow is fun to ride!"

"Most front-loaders can do this."

"Urban Arrow. There’s a place in NY that gets them from Europe, assembles it, and shops it to you."

"A bakfiets style that is great for cargo and also can fit a full grown human in the cargo bucket is the Urban Arrow Family."

"Love my Surly Big Dummy. I’ve since electrified it with a Bafang BBSHD and it’s fantastic."

"Im a fan of two: big dummie by Surly and Edgerunner by Xtracycle"

"[Surly bikes](https://surlybikes.com/bikes/haulin). I have one for trail maintenance at work. Those things are a beast."

"Check out the surly big easy (or big dummy or big fat dummy if you want to do your own conversion). I'm only about 170 but with kids and supplies am carrying at least 140 pounds and the bike is rated to 400 pounds but people load then up over that. It's tons of fun and has a good gear range."

"Surly Big Dummy/Big Easy depending on whether you decide to go with assist."

"Surly and Xtracycle both seem like good choices."

"I love my Madsen! 600lb (or 4 kids) capacity and is holding up great."

"I have a Madsen and it can fit 4 kids in the bucket!"

"For a little little baby, the best way to go is either a front box bike or a Madsen."

"I have a Madsen that I love."

"Yes! Love our Madsen!"

"Madsen has a unique design with a rear bucket."

"We love our R&M Multitinker."

"R&M Load 75 or Load 60 are the obvious answers."

"R&M transporter is said to be dog friendly, has a side door in the front box."

"R&M Load 75 or Packster 70 will work well."

"Love the busket design of Muli! Clean and versatile :)"

"When my partner and I tested out some cargo bikes the Muli was great to ride and to just a little bit of getting used to."

"Its a great bike, although quite heavy."

"Muli or Yoonit might fit the description."

"WorkCycles from Amsterdam hands down."

"Workcycles Fr8 or Kr8 are both great as a heavy duty utility bike."

"Mine is a Workcycles Kr8."

"Some Dutch brands that are available internationally are: Bakfiets.nl."

"I would recommend to get a bakfiets."

"Bakfiets.nl. Can't yet speak about its performance, but we have ours on order through Amsterdam Bicycle Company!"

"The original Bullitt is great."

"Bikes like the Omnium (Cargo or Mini-Max) and Bullitt have been and still are amazing bikes."

"I love cargo-bikes and will transport my two girls with e Bullit."

"Some Dutch brands that are available internationally are: Babboe."

"Babboe makes a cheaper version."

"You can switch to a bike like a bakfiet or babboe that can hold that many kids."

"Just got the Aventon Abound. Simple and very easy to use."

"We life in SF, and recently bought the Aventon Abound due to the low price, and reasonable quality. It actually deals with San Francisco hills very well."

"The aventon aventure.2 would probably be a good pick. I have the first version, 6'3 320, and it hauls my big butt around very efficiently."

"I really like my burley flatbed. Ain't that pricey and you could build it to your needs with something like a woodenbox or whatnot."

"I would say just get a burley travoy cause they can fit in trains. and are foldable"

"Limited-time deal: Burley Flatbed, Aluminum Utility Cargo Bike Traile"

"Definitely a prinsu rack. If you want to take a look at their competitor check out uptopoverland. They do take a bit of time to instal but they’re worth it."

"Probably prinsu or a Yakima timberline tower with cross bars."

"I use a Benno Boost with a dog trailer. Works great for my German Shepherd."

"Benno seems like they are probably not niche in Europe but they are here. I like them well enough that I got one."

"The Riese & Müller Load60, Load75 and the additionally configured Packster are fully suspended. I've been riding the Load75 myself for a few days and it's fantastic."

"Look into a R&M Load 60 or R&M Load 75."

"Mongoose Envoy. $630 on Amazon right now. Solid bike. Amazing value. I love mine."

"Probably the cheapest decent new cargo bike is the Mongoose Envoy."

"Gnargo Bike Co is building custom cargo bikes in Bentonville Arkansas using upcycle classic steel frames and all modern components."

"Surprised to not see Gnargo in here. Bikes produced using recycled steel MTB frames. Rad colors and designs. Produced in the USA."

"I invite you to check Douze Cycles also, very valuable bikes. from France too."

"Douze. Available in several lengths and splittable so they're easier to transport with a car."

"Bike Friday is one of the lightest long tails you can get, with an optional but as I understand it fully removable motor."

"Bike Friday Haul-a-day"

"Cero One is a great bike for the price and is compact."

"Check out Cero, small cycle truck that is a great deal right now!"

"Lectric XPedition is an cargo e-bike low step through with a total carry capacity of 450lb and a rider max of 350lb."

"I'm heavier and i recently bought an Lectric XP 3.0. It's pretty good for the price and has all sorts of cargo options."

"Get the longest long tail you can find. Perhaps the Xtracycle or Surly."

"I got an xtracycle swoop, maybe you can find an older version."

"For Cargo?? Or, take a look at the trek ones they’ve recently come out and are pretty awesome with Bosch!"

"For bike I’d go allant+7 from Trek. Trailer $50 online."

"Flyer L885."

"I know nothing about this bike other than seeing it on their website and thinking it looked interesting (I think it’s relatively new): Flyer Folding Cargo"

"Le Petit Porteur is great and not electric."

"We have an older Copilot Model A, which I’ve used to haul munchkins to pre-K, half an office’s worth of crap."

"Luna roam fusion. this is probably the largest battery you can get on any bike anywhere."

"Yes, there’s a range of different types of bikes from Van Raam bikes that include wheelchair bikes, tandems, scooter bikes - all types!"

"I have a kombi e5 and love it."

"We’ve had a secondhand Butchers & Bicycles trike for 8 years now. Never serviced it and never even changed a tube or tyre. I love it so much."

"We have a mustache long tail as well and absolutely love it - so maneuverable and can hold a surprising amount."

"Front Range Cargo Bikes is excellent."

"Metrofiets certainly has. CETMA had left some customers abandoned a while back. But if you can find a used one, either brand made fantastic cargo bakfiets style bikes!"

"Max and Maeleon. Next to Van Raam one of the only cargo bikes i know you can transport an adult without them playing brezel in a box and stable enough (3 wheels) for taking older people with you."

"Rad seems far and away most popular on the low end of the scale."

"Radwagon. You can buy two for the price of a Tern."

"I love my Kona ute and minute it's great to ride."

"We have a Pedego shop in CP: https://pedegoelectricbikes.com/product/stretch/"

"I own a KBO Ranger and a Runner 1, for the price Ranger is a better cargo bike in all respects."

"I own one and they really are nice cargo trailers, adaptable, and they can build custom hitches if need be."

"Cycleast is probably the go-to followed by The Peddler in Hyde Park."

"Keswick cycle has a great three-wheeler that comes with a sizable rear basket for hauling stuff."

"All delivery guys in NYC use Arrow 7."

"We just bought the Triobike Boxter Air."

"I have this bike that is great with 4 kids."

"Have you looked at Bunch Bikes?"

"If I were you I’d look at Front Runner if money isn’t a concern."

"Probably prinsu or a Yakima timberline tower with cross bars."

"RadPower bikes make a few different models that can hold kids."

"Yoonit a mini cargo bike from Hamburg Germany."

"Firth & Wilson Shorty Cargo Bike"

"VirtueCycles Courier."

"Ahearne Cycle Truck. I think they still make them!"

"Kettler still makes full-suspension Long Johns. But I only know the website and I haven't seen one on the road yet."

"Monopole seems to be building interesting bikes with Pinion MGU."

"XYZ Cargo is definitely niche. Conceived as an open source art project by N55.Dk."

"We have a rooftop tent and because of that went with the Spider roof rack (very similar to the prinsu) and really wish we hadn’t. To me it’s really not worth the pain of the instal and the potential water leaking problems you can run into."
